📋 About This Mod
Enhance your Cyberpunk 2077 immersion by dynamically changing how V sees the world based on their lifepath, cyberware, and story progression. No more manual preset swapping - let the game automatically transition your visuals from gritty,
Conditional ReShade Optics for Cyberpunk 2077 automatically swaps ReShade presets based on V's lifepath, cyberware, and story state. It includes distinct profiles like gritty un-augmented vision for Nomad/Street Kid, black-white-red Arasaka HUD for Corpo, and glitched corrupted optics after The Rescue. Requires ReShade 6.7.3+, RED4ext, and redscript. Updated August 2026.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real narrative gap—V's vision actually changes after getting Kiroshi optics and as cyberware evolves.
- Lifepath-specific presets make each new playthrough feel visually distinct from the first minute.
- RED4ext/redscript hooking means presets swap under the hood with no manual hotkey fiddling mid-game.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires ReShade 6.7.3+ with full add-on support plus RED4ext and redscript—multiple dependencies that can break after game updates.
- ReShade's full effects suite can be demanding, and the install wants every effect checked, which can hurt framerate.
- The manual copy step to create the MyConditionalReshadeOptics folder is a failure point—skip it and the mod won't work.
For Cyberpunk 2077 roleplayers who want V's HUD and screen effects to match their lifepath and cyberware progression. Great for players doing multiple lifepath playthroughs and wanting each start to feel distinct. Skip if you don't already use ReShade or want a drop-in visual mod with no dependency stack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install ReShade 6.7.3 or later with full add-on support and check every effect box, or the bundled presets can fail to load.
- After extraction, copy the presets from bin/x64/reshade-presets/ConditionalReshadeOptics to a new bin/x64/reshade-presets/MyConditionalReshadeOptics folder before launching.
- If using Vortex, deploy the mod, then manually verify that the MyConditionalReshadeOptics folder exists in your game directory—Vortex won't create it.
